Week 12 (Nov. 5 - Nov. 7)

On Wednesday, students in Period 3 finished the Chapter 6 packet. They began to work on the material for Chapter 7 (Periodic Properties of the Elements). On Thursday and Friday, students in Periods 2 and 3 continued to work on Chapter 7. The answers were e-mailed out to students today.
 
Homework for Periods 2 & 3:  Review the material in Chapters 6 and 7. During our next class, we will have a practice test on these chapters. The test on Chapters 6 and 7 will be on Wednesday or Thursday.

On Wednesday students in Periods 5 and 7 began to learn about Electron Configuration. On Thursday and Friday, students in Periods 5, 7, and 8 began to explore the patterns in the periodic table with regard to electron configuration, valence electrons and oxidation states.

Homework for Periods 5, 7 & 8:  The answers to the two electron configuration packets were e-mailed out to students today. Review and study this material. During our next class, we will have a quiz on electron configuration. You will be allowed to use a periodic table for the quiz, but it cannot have additional notes written on it.

On Thursday, students in Period 4 took a quiz on Atomic Theory and Structure.

Homework for Period 4:  No homework. I will introduce the concepts of electron configuration and give more information about this during our next class.
